You gave me an idea here for our anniversary! One that I think my girlfriend will definitely love. Besides the gift I'm planning to buy I want something thoughtful. I guess I should really try this. Thanks for the tutorial. I just have to download the Slideshow maker for Mac now.

Really nice! I downloaded the Slideshow Make for my Mac and followed your tutorial here. This made it easier for me in creating my slideshow. Very timely as well because a friend of mine will be getting married. I'm thinking of making a slideshow of their wacky photos as a surprise. thanks!
